> is what billboards do as well
not really. in theory there is some kind of process where we could collectively decide about the existence / frequency / size of billboards, as can be seen in many towns that have advertising banned, or as can be seen when you contrast New York with any European city.
with wanna be gangster teenagers and adults with Peter Pan syndrome ? not really.
p.s. I hate billboards as well, if you ask me both should not exist
- bondarchuk 3y agoIn theory we could ask all graffiti artists kindly to stop doing it. I think both are about equally realistic. (Any European city save a few exceptions still has billboards btw).
- 4gotunameagain 3y agoThere are cities where billboards are not allowed, and also I did not say that European cities do not have billboards, I said that there is a stark contrast between European cities and New York, due to regulations. Times square is a disaster the magnitude of which cannot be found in Europe.
- nsp 3y agoHonestly there are relatively few billboards in nyc outside of Times Square relative to somewhere like Houston
- freejazz 3y ago>Times square is a disaster the magnitude of which cannot be found in Europe. Who is Times Square for but Europeans and other tourists? Do you think New Yorkers go there to see the latest billboards? I feel bad for anyone I know who has to work in the few big towers in times square.
- 4gotunameagain 3y agoAre you suggesting that it is because of Europeans that Times Square is a clusterfuck? Europe has destinations that are way more touristic than Times Square, and you cannot find this atrocity.
- freejazz 3y agoI'm saying its because of tourists, which does include Europeans. >Europe has destinations that are way more touristic than Times Square, and you cannot find this atrocity. Okay? It's not New Yorkers going there to gawk.
